Sarah Ford reviewed: Driftwood cottage sculpture kit

"Such a beautiful kit! The instructions are really clear but there's enough freedom to make something unique. I'm amazed by how much is included and I was able to make 2 sculptures. I've just ordered another kit to make some as presents for friends...after a few not-so-subtle comments!"

The Seals Whiskers responded:

"Thank you Sarah for taking the time to review our kit. We are so pleased you enjoyed making your sculptures. Beware it becomes quite addictive!"

sue rouse reviewed: ‘Seaside Cottage Sculpture’ workshop, using driftwood and recycled materials, North Yorkshire.

"I didn't know quite what to expect, it's a long time since I played with beads, buttons and sticky backed plastic. But I had a wonderful time, led all the way with good humour and friendly advice, spoilt for choice and amazed at what was achievable, I would return in a heartbeat. You don't need to be clever or creative but the results nevertheless are remarkable. Don't think you're too old to get covered in paint and glue it was the most relaxing day I have spent in a long while. Such fun."

The Seals Whiskers responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to review our workshop. We are so pleased you had a wonderful day and created such a lovely sculpture.You are welcome anytime!"

Sara Cremer reviewed: ‘Seaside Cottage Sculpture’ workshop, using driftwood and recycled materials, North Yorkshire.

"What an enjoyable day. Melanie was lovely, relaxed & couldn’t do enough to support all the participants make the perfect seaside cottage art. The day started choosing the driftwood which was total entertainment & more exciting than you would think! Searching for that perfect base! Then working out how you want it to look. Paint next followed by fences, light, flag poles, bunting poles, whatever you want to make your unique piece. A bit more painting & I'd forgotten to eat lunch (that never happens!). The workshop finished with a few more tweaks to make sure we were happy, a few photos of our days' work & I went home very happy. I would highly recommend this for a day out."

The Seals Whiskers responded:

"I am so pleased you enjoyed your day,thank you for taking the time to review our workshop.Your cliff top sculptures were so cute. best wishes Melanie"

Tracey Brown reviewed: ‘Seaside Cottage Sculpture’ workshop, using driftwood and recycled materials, North Yorkshire.

"What a fantastic day, thank you so much. After having all of our craft courses cancelled or postponed due to Covid it was great to get back to trying something new. All safety precautions were perfectly in place putting us all at ease straight away. Melanie was a fantastic tutor and couldn't do enough for us when we wanted supplies tweaking to match our crafting thoughts. Everyone in our group had a fabulous day and left with a beautiful driftwood seascape. We would definitely recommend doing this course and even do it again ourselves. Thank you so much for everything."

The Seals Whiskers responded:

"Thank you Tracey for such a kind review.The group was a pleasure to teach and you all produced beautiful sculptures which matched your personalities so well. best wishes Melanie"

Graeme Smith reviewed: ‘Seaside Cottage Sculpture’ workshop, using driftwood and recycled materials, North Yorkshire.

"I was amazed at what I was able to create in a day. Mel and Debra had a huge variety of resources available, coupled with loads of experience and enthusiasm. All 4 of us on the course created wonderful scenes, yet they were all very different and individualistic. Lunch outside in a lovely setting was an added bonus. A brilliant start to our holiday."

Amanda Abbott reviewed: ‘Seaside Cottage Sculpture’ workshop, using driftwood and recycled materials, North Yorkshire.

"Fantastic day, relaxed and informal. Well organised with lots of choice of materials and beautiful driftwood. The organisers were obviously very knowledgable and creative, and had a genuine passion for using reclaimed resources. It was the perfect mix of demonstrations and handy tips whilst letting us experiment and get completely submerged in our individual pieces. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a unique experience in a quaint and relaxed surrounding."

There was an abundance of hand made individual cottages and buildings to choose from and paint with lots of bits and bobs to bring your coastal scene to life.
